Perfection vs Productivity

Reading this book has not been a walk in the park ,it's more of a walk in a landmine , from learning the centenarian language of lisp , to creating procedures to attempt the examples at the end of the subchapters, but looking at it now I was working with a
an unrealistic "Perfection " mindset .

Perfection is akin to infinity the move you strive the harder it gets to attain it.

Soon after I came across this quote ::

"Everyday it get's easier but you have to do it everyday that's the hard part" ~ BojackHorseman

Having a perfection mindset was leading (Recursively) me to the same wall of wanting to exceed an unattainable goal and it led me to states of inaction .

Adopting the Pomodoro Technique and having a continuous improvement mindset has largely helped me remain consistent and "loyal" to the course

To my fellow developers reading this resilience and consistency is more important than perfection.
